Review of 'WWW : wake' on 'GoodReads'

Before reading the last 3 chapters, I was meaning to give this book a rating of 3, however those chapters were able to change the whole reading experience.
I have to admire the author for meticulously researching the aspect of blindness and the technology blind people use, down to such tiny detail as how to speed up/slow down a screen reader while it is reading continuously.
Despite the fact that the plot moves at an extremely slow pace, hence reading it took weeks, rather than days, the style is eloquent and flowing. Humour is not over-used and is there when needed.
